Not connected to your extender's WiFi network
I had the Netgear AC750 WiFi Range Extender Model EX6100v2 set up successfully previously. However, I just replaced my new router (from a linksys to a frontier) and am trying to set up the extender t...
Easiest route?
Hardwire into the extender. Disable the wifi on the computer hardwired into the extender. Reason why is the computer will default to the working wifi and not to the ethernet connection. Then try running the installation wizard. You were correct in thinking that route would work when wps wouldn't.
Thank you plemans for replying so fast! I did what you suggested and it did work up to a point and know I'm stuck again :( I wired the ethernet cable from my port on the extender to the port on my computer and that did let me get to the extender setup page and I was able to get halfway through that but now I'm stuck where it wants me to "Connect any Wifi enabled device like you would to your main network, using the credentials below" page. The page does show the extended network but it wants me to click the continue button only after I connect my wifi device. Here comes the stupid question... How do I connect to the main network?

No stupid questions. But what exactly do you mean? Connect a pc to the extenders wifi, connect the extender to the main wifi, what exactly are you doing? I'm not there to see it so some screen snips or a little more details help.
